Such is not always the case, however. I was 16 when I first started dating the girl I still love. (She was 13 then.) And no, it was never about sex or anything like that. With true love, age is of no importance. She just happened to be younger, that was all.

Pixiemagic14 answered Saturday October 2 2004, 11:08 pm: well it's not bad to be friends with a 16 year old ( i'm friends with this girl and she's 16) and well to have a relationship with a 16 year old and your 13 well i wouldn't do that if i were 13 but i'm 14 so yea i would date a 16 year old, But if your parents were ok with you dateing a 16 year old but (i dought that any parent would be ok with it), but couldn't he get in troubel for dateing a 13 yearold at 16, i think he could.

S_C answered Saturday October 2 2004, 10:46 pm: i'm not sure, I'm 13, and I asked a question about my 16 yr old boyfriend, and a few answers I got were, he's just a pedophile, and I was like BS, I love my boyfriend... yet I'll be 14 in like a month and 5 days, so it doesn't really matter.
By the way, just incase you don't know what pedophile means, it means child molester, I didn't really know what that meant until just a few weeks ago, I'm so smart, aren't I lol [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
Mercy_x_Me answered Saturday October 2 2004, 10:40 pm: because most 16 year olds dont want a 13 year old for their personality. They dont want whats inside them, they want whats inside their pants!

xbrunettecutiex answered Saturday October 2 2004, 9:50 pm: A 13 year old and a 16 year old is very different. Those 3 years are very important. At 13 your in 7th grade and just beginning to get a little freedom. At 16 your a soph. or junior in HS and your getting your lisence and a lot more independent. Its fine to be friends but relationship wise its too much a difference, your in 2 different worlds. [ xbrunettecutiex's advice column | Ask xbrunettecutiex A Question ]
koshii answered Saturday October 2 2004, 9:32 pm: There's a large difference in the mentality of a 13 and 16-year old. A mentor-type friendship can be good, but although 3 years is not a big difference to adults, let's think...
3 years, to a thirteen year old, is almost a quarter of your life.
3 years, to a sixteen year old, is about a fifth of your life.
3 years, to a 30 year old, is only a tenth of your life.
Those years represent a huge amount of experience and maturity (or lack thereof) between 13 and 16. It can be a mess if you try to be equals, as in relationships. [ koshii's advice column | Ask koshii A Question ]
BlueEyedBlondie725 answered Saturday October 2 2004, 9:25 pm: There's nothing wrong with hanging out with a 16 year old. But some guys take advantage of girls (having sex or telling them to do something they don't want them to do). But not every guy is like that. They may really love the 13 year old and wouldn't do that. You just have to be lucky to find that guy. But, some people will call the 13 year old a slut or something because they just think you are since you're with someone older and not your own age (and you're at a young age.. 13). People just assume things sometimes. I hope this helps and if you need anything else, just post a message in my inbox.
Sherry answered Saturday October 2 2004, 9:22 pm: Because the 16 year old might take advantage of the 13 year old. By taking advantage I mean trying to get some sex..and thats what most 16 yr old guys want [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
MissEmmyBoo answered Saturday October 2 2004, 9:18 pm: I don't think there is anything wrong with dating or hanging out with a 16-yr-old! Whoever thinks it's bad will get over it!Some people just think you are more likely to get into trouble around someone older and they may think that you should just hang with people your age.
~Hope I helped~

MFS answered Saturday October 2 2004, 9:15 pm: Because generally the 13 year old is significantly less mature than the 16 year old, or the 16 year old has designs on taking advantage of the 13 year old's naivete. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
